For Su Wang, getting Li Bo done was just the first step in completing the Good Voice project. The real problem of the Good Voice project was to invite four mentors.
The previous version of The Voice was still several years away from production, so Su Wang couldn't guarantee that those instructors would still agree to participate.
After all, it was by chance that these singers came to join the mentoring program. It happened that they were persuaded that year. At another time, they might not be able to do so just by throwing money at them.
Su Wang circled the names of several singers on the paper. The four mentors in his previous life were not actually the most suitable. At least Yang Sanjiachang's status in the music world would be slightly lower.
"Wang Zhou Tianwang can consider it. Teacher Liu is also a must. After all, he is the singer of the Olympic theme song. If he serves as the mentor, then the authority of the program cannot be doubted."
Su Wang wrote down the names of a dozen celebrities, but after selecting them for a while, he suddenly laughed.
I really don't think of singers as singers. I think about choosing the right one, but others may not be willing to come. It makes them just like cabbage in the vegetable market.
Although Su Wang didn't know much about the Good Voice column team in his previous life, he believed that the four instructors would definitely not accept the four instructors that the chief planner had chosen in the beginning.
"I have to get in touch with these singers first. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the entertainment industry. If that doesn't work, ask Tang Xin for guidance."
Su Wang muttered, but he didn't expect that before he found Tang Xin, the opportunity to have contact with these singers would come.
Because this year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the higher authorities organized activities for all walks of life to sing to the motherland, and invited representatives from all walks of life to come to Beijing to shoot the music video. Su Wang was also invited.
The team that recorded the MV came from CCTV, and when Su Wang arrived at CCTV in Beijing, it happened that the singing circle next door was recording a singing program called "I Love My Motherland", and many singers from China, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, all came.
Jay Chou is also on the list.
"Su Wang, I knew you were young, but I didn't expect you to be so young. That's good."
In the backstage lounge, Su Wang and Jay Chou stayed together. Because of the blue and white porcelain song presented by Su Wang, the relationship between Jay Chou and Su Wang was still good.
Su Wang looked at Jay Chou. At this time, Jay Chou still had a handsome style and did not have the look of an uncle with a beard in a few years. And his group of fans had not really entered the society, so they were still just among the little kings.
say.
A few years later, when those born in the 80s and 90s fully entered society, Jay Chou finally removed the fine print. In a certain year in later generations, those young freshmen saw what sunset red fans were, and fans were born.
"Forced to open business" meme.
"Chou, have you ever wanted to be a mentor for a music talent show?"
"Mentor of the talent show?"
After hearing Su Wang's words, Director Jay was silent for a moment, and then shook his head. He had no interest in talent shows. As a person in the entertainment industry, he knew very well that many so-called talent shows were controlled by entertainment companies, and the rankings were all controlled by entertainment companies.
It was done behind closed doors.
Even if there are a few dark horses who break through the siege, the entertainment company will contact them immediately to sign a contract. If they don't sign a contract, they will definitely miss the final championship, and they won't even be able to enter the top three.
"This talent show is an amateur talent show. All contestants are not recommended by entertainment companies, but are discovered by us ourselves. They are all music lovers. I can assure you that there is absolutely no shady story in this show.
"
Seeing that Jay Chou was still unmoved, Su Wang continued: "I know it was difficult for you, Jay Chou, to debut, so why not give those newcomers who like music a chance?"
"Su Wang, it's not that I don't want to, but it's because I've been very busy recently and have a new album to prepare, so I can't spare the time."
"Plus a song!"
Hearing Su Wang's words, Jay Chou's eyes lit up. Blue and White Porcelain gave him a taste of the benefits. This song helped him win all the major Chinese music awards.
"Is it on the same level as blue and white porcelain?"
"It's hard to judge this, but at least it won't be bad."
"make a deal."
Seeing Director Jay's happy smile, Su Wang rolled his eyes angrily. If he had known what he was doing with so much talk, he would have just stated the last condition.
Of course, Jay Chou didn't talk about the cost of participating in the show, and Su Wang didn't mention it either, because this will naturally be paid by the program team based on Jay Chou's popularity and status. The industry has a standard.
And for a singer of Jay Chou's level, he really doesn't care too much about the hundreds of dollars in appearance fees. On the contrary, a good song can make his heart beat more.
How important a classic song is to a singer, just look at those people who sing a song for a lifetime.
Someone who is busy sending blessings 365 days a year.
When we meet, we are the one who says, "Friend, friend, have you ever thought of me?"
There is also the couple who sings "Let's protect each other's love today, no matter the storm will never come again" with their children, whether it is a commercial performance or an advertisement, or even when their child is born.
It is not uncommon for singers to rely on one song for a lifetime. This illustrates the importance of a good song and how rare a good song is.
Seeing Jay Chou's expression of making a profit, Su Wang smiled slightly and asked me to cooperate with you. You may think that you have made a profit, but I will definitely not lose because these songs belong to you.
Su Wang had already begun to consider in his mind whether to give Jay Chou fireworks or confession balloons.
After getting rid of Jay Chou, Su Wang no longer needs to worry about the popularity of the show. The gimmick of having Jay Chou as a mentor is enough to attract the audience.
"Dr. Zhou, are you familiar with Teacher Liu Huan?"
"Why, you want to invite him to be your tutor too?" Director Chou was surprised when he heard what Su Wang said. Teacher Liu Huan has a high status in the Chinese music scene. Su Wang invited him and then teacher Liu Huan. It seemed that he was right.
This program has great intentions.
Of course, in Jay Chou's heart, he naturally hopes that the music program Su Wang will prepare is as big as possible. After all, if the program is too stingy, it will also have an impact on his identity and popularity.
"I have this idea, but I have to ask Teacher Liu Huan to agree."
"I have communicated with Teacher Liu Huan. I am afraid it will be difficult to impress him with money alone. But if you do the same as me, you may be able to persuade him to participate."
Su Wang was a little speechless after hearing what Chairman Jay Chou said. "I can sing for you because you sang a few popular songs in the next few years. But Teacher Liu Huan has almost no works after that. What can I give you?"
?
You can't give someone else's songs to him.
As a reborn person, Su Wang felt that he was still a reborn person with principles. He could not do this by using other people's songs to enrich other people's pockets.
"I can mention it to Teacher Liu Huan, but I will not be your lobbyist. There is no guarantee whether it will succeed in the end."
Jay Chou was still very loyal. Su Wang smiled and expressed his gratitude. Although Jay Chou said he was not a lobbyist, the words he said already represented a certain degree of lobbying.
After chatting about business, Su Wang and Jay Chou went back to the studio to continue rehearsing. Since they were not professional singers, the director was very considerate of them. They only lip-synced to the camera and all the music was matched in post-production. But even so
, it was already dark after the recording was completed.
This made Su Wang sigh. Many netizens cursed those singers who sang and played original sounds, but it turns out that it is not easy to match the mouth shape. At least Su Wang felt that lip syncing was more difficult than actual singing.
After the recording, Su Wang took a taxi and gave the driver an address.
"Su Wang, you're here."
In a high-end villa in the capital, Jay Chou greeted Su Wang, while Liu Huan, who was standing next to Jay Chou, looked at Su Wang with curious eyes.
As both singers, Liu Huan and Jay Chou do not have a particularly good relationship. The reason is very simple. Their music styles are completely different. Although Liu Huan also follows the popular song route, his songs have a bit of classical music temperament.
.
In contrast, Jay Chou's music is completely modern. It is because he has released several Chinese-style songs in recent years that the two of them have something in common.
Therefore, Liu Huan was a little surprised when Director Jay approached him at CCTV, especially what he did not expect was that Director Jay came to be a lobbyist for a talent show.
If it were anyone else who had spoken, he would have refused, but thinking that someone like Jay Chou, who was not good at socializing and socializing, would talk to him for a program, he became a little curious about this program, and that's why he decided now
This scene.
Jay Chou gave Su Wang a hint in his eyes, and Su Wang expressed that he understood that the bridge had been built, but it was up to him to impress Liu Huan.
"Teacher Liu Huan, I won't hide it anymore. This time I want to ask Teacher Liu Huan to be the instructor of the music program. This is the copywriting of the entire program."
Su Wang came prepared and handed Liu Huan the copy of the Good Voice program that he had already printed. With Liu Huan's status in the music industry, he was not afraid that Liu Huan would reveal the copy to others.
"Let me take a look first."
After receiving the copy, Liu Huan became more and more frightened as he read it. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that the setting of this program was so exciting that if he and Director Jay were included, it would definitely become a hit.
To be honest, Liu Huan is in a very embarrassing situation now. His singing of the Olympic theme song has made his status in the music circle unprecedentedly high. But the key is that the music market is now sluggish, and the status and income of singers cannot be compared with actors.
.
It is false to say that he does not like money. He has been invited to many programs, but because of his high status, he cannot participate in ordinary programs, which is tantamount to putting him on the shelf.
However, in this show, if Jay Chou and himself are mentors, and there are two other people with similar status, there is no need to worry about the issue of status depreciation.
"Are you sure you can do what the copy says and not operate in secret?"
"Teacher Liu Huan, the rankings of the new music talents are determined by your instructors. When it comes to the team competition, the judges will be music-loving audiences selected from all over the country. As for the finals, major domestic majors will be invited.
Well-known media and music production companies as well as some lyricists and composers in the circle, do you think the program team can bribe so many people?"
Su Wang explained seriously that although The Voice got worse and worse later on, and there were also tricks, the first season was relatively fair, and by using this selection method, he ensured fairness to the greatest extent.
"Okay, with your guarantee, I will be the mentor. As for the other two mentor candidates, I can also recommend them to you."
"That's great. With your introduction, Teacher Liu Huan, it can save me a lot of work."
Jay Chou, who was listening quietly on the side, immediately became anxious when he heard Liu Huan's words and said, "I can also recommend a few."
Director Jay Chou knew the planning and writing of the program earlier than Liu Huan, and also knew that there was a competition for tutors to recruit people. If the other two tutors were recommended by Liu Huan, then he and Liu Huan would like the same student, and those two
The teacher must be on Liu Huan's side. He must prevent the formation of this strategic alliance, otherwise he will lose face if it is broadcast on TV.
Su Wang smiled even brighter after hearing what Jay Chou said. Jay Chou's influence in Baodao and Xiangjiang is higher than that of Liu Huan. The people he invited must also be at the level of big names. In this way, for the good voice
